Continuity: Towards the end of the film, during the chase scene between the newspaper boy and Lane, you can see the skis of the camera guy.

Continuity: At the end of the movie when the French girl and Lane are at Dodgers Stadium you can clearly see bike tracks in the dirt and grass where the paperboy had ridden in previous takes.

Continuity: In the last skiing scene where Lane is being chased by the paperboy, when the camera is on Lane he has the sleeves to his vest on. The camera then goes to someone else and when it comes back to Lane, there are no sleeves on the vest, then they are back on again later.

Continuity: In the final skiing scene, the skiers have different skis on from shot to shot. I have counted a total of four pairs of skis on Lane alone. Obviously that is not John Cusack doing the skiing either.

Revealing: When Lane becomes depressed he goes out to the garage and ties a red cord around his neck and to the ceiling to hang himself. He thinks better of it, but his mother opens the door and knocks him off the steps and he hangs by the cord. If you look closely you can see that there is no cord hung around his neck, he merely holds his hand up and mimicks grabbing the cord around his neck. The cord seems to be attached to something on his back.

Continuity: When Lane is about to kill himself with carbon monoxide fumes from the car in the garage, he passes out and backs up out the garage door..if you look close you can see a conscious stunt man sitting up as the car goes backwards.

Continuity: When the paperboy comes around to collect his $2.00 plus tip, Lane keeps the door only open a crack. But when it switches to shots of the paperboy not only is the door wide open but the color has changed from blue to white.

Audio problem: Monique runs out of the house, holding Ricky's picture. She sits down and starts to laugh at the picture. Her mouth movements don't match the laugh that is heard.

Visible crew/equipment: When Lane is spraying the deodorant spray into his arm pit and lowers the can you see the aerosol from the can move away from his body while simultaneously being replaced with a large blast of spray from a larger apparatus.

Visible crew/equipment: The slimy goop Lane's mom puts on his plate at dinner begins to move when he pokes is with his fork. If you look closely, you can see the wheels of the stomper or rough-rider truck used to make it move, when it hops off the plate.

Continuity: During the various ski scenes, the weather changes frequently between shots - in some shots, the sky is clear and harsh shadows are cast. In other shots, it is heavily overcast and shadows are barely visible.

Continuity: Lane goes to his first day of work at "pig burger". A closeup is shown of the owner's mouth as he snarles "Myers...". There's about 1/4 inch of facial hair all over his face. When they cut from the closeup and show the rest of his body you can see that he's fairly well shaven, only some 5 o'clock shadow.

Continuity: In the classroom scene, Lane is called to the board to demonstrate a math problem. When he draws the first line, it screeches, and cuts to the class hollering with their hair on end. When it cuts back to Lane, the line is half the original length.

Other: The movie is set in winter, around Christmas and New Year's Day. Throughout the movie, many types of deciduous trees that should be bare, are seen with leaves. When the Camaro is first driven from the garage, some trees can even be seen in Autumn colors.

Continuity: For dinner one night, Lane's mom serves the family some strange green goop on a plate. In one shot, the goop lies flat on Lane's plate. In the next, it has become large and structured, like a brain (in order to move off the plate).
